What is Mergify?

Mergify tightens merge queue controls with deployment pinning, per-lane capacity, and GitHub-native stacked PR support.

Mergify is shipping targeted capability additions to its merge queue around two themes: finer-grained deployment and scope controls, and tighter security around author permissions. Deployment conditions can now be pinned to specific apps, per-lane check capacity applies to dynamic scopes without enumerating scope names, and the stacked PR merge integration brings GitHub's native stacked PR feature into the merge queue. On the security side, head branch writes are now restricted to the originating repository and forks, preventing cross-repository writes.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

Mergify tightens merge queue controls with deployment pinning, per-lane capacity, and GitHub-native stacked PR support.

◆ Current state

Mergify is shipping targeted capability additions to its merge queue around two themes: finer-grained deployment and scope controls, and tighter security around author permissions. Deployment conditions can now be pinned to specific apps, per-lane check capacity applies to dynamic scopes without enumerating scope names, and the stacked PR merge integration brings GitHub's native stacked PR feature into the merge queue. On the security side, head branch writes are now restricted to the originating repository and forks, preventing cross-repository writes.

◆ Where it's heading

Mergify is expanding its merge queue from a queue-and-merge tool toward a fully controllable CI/CD gating layer. The deployment condition pinning, per-lane capacity limits, and stacked PR support each address specific enterprise workflow gaps rather than adding breadth. The Datadog metrics retirement (replacing custom metrics with a cleaner `mergify.queue.*` set) and badge API removal signal an API consolidation pass running in parallel with feature additions.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued deepening of the deployment condition model — more condition attributes for filtering merge behavior based on deployment context and app identity. The stacked PR integration suggests GitHub's native stacked PR tooling is gaining enterprise adoption; Mergify may add more explicit stacked PR workflow controls beyond queue membership.

6.3

ToolJet's latest tags are maintenance; the AI Builder features still wait on beta.

◆ Current state

ToolJet ships near-daily on an LTS line for fixes and promoted features and a beta line for larger work. The newest LTS tag, v3.20.246, fixes uneditable rows in the 'Add new rows' popup and adds Tabs tests; the newest beta, v3.21.78, only adds security guideline docs. The substantive recent LTS changes were keyboard accessibility across widgets, a SCIM filter fix and v2 APIs for workspace user metadata.

◆ Where it's heading

Enterprise readiness remains the common thread: a v2 external API growing one resource at a time, identity-provider fixes and accessibility work. AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and tighter metered Cloud limits still sit on the beta line.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder attachments, GPT-6.1 Sol and the new plan limits to reach an LTS tag, as AI Builder release 3 did. More v2 admin endpoints are likely along the way.
